Getting this Bitcoin Wall Calendar ready for 2026 🚀 Thanks @nprofile1q... for putting this together, happy to be sponsoring such cool initiatives!

P.S. you can get yours on @nprofile1q... e-shop, too!

That's true. We're solving this friction from the user side, not the merchant side. Our tools are for someone who wants to live on Bitcoin, yet has to pay in fiat in 99% of the cases.

However, the idea is that if more people would move onto the Bitcoin standard because of convenient tools like wavecard, then more people would also try to "orange pill" the merchants to accept Bitcoin natively, as it's obviously even more cheaper, more private, less intermediaries, etc.

It's a bit of catch-22 problem between merchants and shoppers. But our thesis is that it's very unlikely that the adoption will come from merchants first, and then onto people. It has to be from people who get in the habit of paying with Bitcoin one way or another and then merchants will eventually flip.

Unfortunately, non-KYC cards are much more limited. Not accepted by as many merchants, not possible to add on mobile wallets, no physical cards as well. And sometimes non-KYC simply means that they won’t ask for details proactively, but they might freeze your balance and still ask for KYC if they don’t like your transactions.

Glad to be helping you live on Bitcoin 🫡

For the record, we identified the issue to be related to our IP checker provider being on end-user's specific DNS blacklist. We're using a third-party IP checker to serve a simple EU disclaimer. Removing that IP checker from the user's blacklist helped resolve the issue. We will check if there's a way to get rid of this third-party reliance all together.

Generally, users can and do use VPNs on our platform.

I realized that, and sent another dm over Iris. Are you able to see that?

Hey! Could you reach out over support, so we can investigate your issue specifically? Some of our users do use VPN successfully, we haven’t added any specific blocks recently. In fact, we removed one dependency on IP checkers that was blocking private Firefox sessions before.
